Be interested in how the away team set up... Going for the win or to avoid defeat?

I would guess they will be pragmatic & hope to do us on the counter.

 

[Hutch11]

Just demolish the scabby bastards

 

[skybluelee]

I'm worried about Rudoni's shoulder and Wright. If both plus EMC are out we're already looking stretched.

Hopefully Birmingham come to play. If they do and If at least 2/3 of the above are available we'll pick them off.

 

[pusbccfc]

Watched their first few games including the cup game against Sheffield United and thought they looked excellent but performances/results seem to have dropped a little.

I still think this will be a real tough game. They'll be well up for it.

 

[Lamps]

It's going to be a Hollywood blockbuster. 3-1 to the mighty Sky Blues.

 

[pusbccfc]

Looking forward to the Birmingham fans adding to the atmosphere on Saturday:

 

[mmttww]

Must win.

If Wright, Rudoni and EMC are all out were absolutely fucked, not just stretched lol.

What would the front 4 be? Torp, BTA, Simms, Sakamoto? Doesn’t fill me with confidence.

 

[SBT]

Fight and win.

Horrendous options and nothing off the bench in that situation

I would say a switch to 5 at the back would be the best option given our personnel.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Given that we have about ten left backs, I wouldn't mind seeing a different one of them in this game.

Wouldn't really change it otherwise though, unless we really have to.

 

[Robinshio]

what are we basing Rudoni on, is there some ITK that ive not read

 

[covcity4life]

Same team bar emc back in if fit

Draw wouldn't be end of world as I think Brum are decent but once again just wanna see us play with confidence

 

[Liquid Gold]

Really hope we put these cunts back in their box.

They’ve spend good money and have good depth but really lack quality. Best XIs at full fitness and we win 9 times out of 10.

Just that he went over and was clutching it. Looked like he was playing with strapping on it as well.

Yes this. Their strength is their squad depth but considering their spend, our first 11 is of better quality. I think we'll miss EMC but if everyone else is ok i can see a 2-0 here.

I think Sakamoto could be key, he could tie Cochrane in knots, then its just about the final ball.

 

[Viktor17]

He’s had strapping since last year. He’s fine.

wright just cramp as worked hard.

we do all like a worry.

however don’t see EMC being back, highly unlikely hamstring will have recovered, unless was just precautionary.

 

[fernandopartridge]

It sounds silly to say this is a must win so early in the season but I think we do need to win, otherwise it's suddenly five games without a win (including the cup game).

 

[SleepyGinger]

Any news on EMC?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Yeah agree. I wouldn't normally say 'must win' this early either but although we've not lost yet, 4 draws/2 wins from 6, needs to be 4 draws/3 wins if we're wanting to take an Autos place this season with the division seemingly it's most open in years.

 

[Viktor17]

Any news on EMC?

Can’t see him playing until Blackburn

fiiiiiight....and winnnnnn!

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Can’t see him playing until Blackburn

What's up with him?

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I

I Believe

I Believe that

I Believe that we will win

I Believe that we will win

 

[SleepyGinger]

Telegraph suggesting EMC and KKH should be back in contention for this one.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Results will soon catch up with good football, the Norwich result was a pure statistical freak.

Haven't really seen any of the new signings so far, keeper aside!
It's a good thing as it means results have been fairly positive, but I'd like to see what they can offer to the team at some point

They're just repeating Lampards updates from last week, they don't have any new info

 

[Paxman II]

Oh come on...it's got win written all over it!
Think we will thrash them 4-0

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh come on...it's got win written all over it!
Think we will thrash them 4-0

You'd say that if we were playing Real Madrid tbf

 

[quinn1971]

If we can go 10 games unbeaten then that’s great start but we need to be winning games at home like these,
